just an update...

Other then being taken away by just playing the role of a mother last week, nothing new. For a few days I just "mom".

No photographer

No breadwinner

Just mom

And if felt so nice to get back to my roots.

As mentioned earlier I went to Colorado. Sadly without my husband. But other then having him without us it was great. Well, we could have gone without the blizzard we ran into on the way to the airport. But an hour of waiting on the plane at the gate before we headed to get de-iced wasn't so bad.

All in all, it was a good trip. I got to spend time with my absolute favorite sister in the whole wide world! (my only sister, but she is still the best). And I had a chance to see my new little nephew.

I also got to go sliding for the first time with my boys.

Luckily my boys didn't mind the purple boots and pink mittens. Coming from Southern California, you don't think about that kind of stuff. Nor do you have it handy.





The boys loved the snow. They could not get enough of it. At first it was funny to see Shane discover that he could the snow




But then he wouldn't stop



So he just kept on going

I never knew snow could make things look so beautiful! I loved it up there.


And I was so excited to see CJ. He was such a sweet baby.

I thought to myself....."I could totally live here. This snow thing isn't that bad. It's beautiful!"
My thoughts quickly changed when we ran into a blizzard on the way to the airport and hit black ice. All thoughts went straight to " when can I get on that plane and in to 80 degree weather in southern California". I think I will stick to visiting the snow, not living in it.

i'm growing monkey ears?

So I have seen other blogs that the mom writes down the funny quotes of what their children say that day. I thought to myself.....smart.

I should do that

However, that requires me to remember what they said by the time I get to blogging it.

I got lucky tonight!

So I was just finishing off the boys bath and changing them into their PJ's when Wyatt looked up in the mirror (which is his closet doors, the length of his room) and said

"Hey! I'm growing monkey ears! That's funny".....ending it with the oddest facial expression.

So this might not be so funny to you. However, for me it cracked me up. I have always thought his ear stood out a little too much. But I was not going to say a word. I thought I would let him figure that one out on his own. At least now he thinks that pretty cool.




So goodnight my little monkey ears

for my big sis

just a little sneak peek for my sister. He is a cutie!

if this doesn't put a smile on your face

i don't know what would.





After a day of unpacking, cleaning, and just trying to get your day straight, something like this is nice.
There is nothing else better then coming to a dinner table with a princess. With necklaces, sunglasses (upside down may I add) and a gorgeous dress to top it off.

I took one look and knew I had to get this on camera for mom.

I love my two new little roommates. I get to see an insight of things if I were to have a girl.

just another day......

with my dearest friend Marisa. One who brings such sanity to this crazy world of mine. One who I need to talk to at least once a day and would love to see more then once a week. So what better way of taking my weekly dose then going to the fields with the kids and capturing what they do best. Being themselves. Call it a day at the beach......Chelsea's beach.

Gotta love the difference between the boys and girls and what they collect. Or maybe the difference between Marisa's kids and mine. Mia brings a hand full of snails and Wyatt collects wild flowers for me. It was awesome.

My absolute favorite picture of the day

Then the second is this. You can't help but smile or laugh when you see this. This way I love Marisa so much! So now you see why I have a new header.....thank you Marisa

Oh how I love my boys

We could not leave without taking a group shot. In a nutshell, this is the gang. One that I wish I hung out more often.

I think the kids were a little too excited to be done...maybe a Wyatt a little more then the rest

your turn colorado

I'm heading up your way. I'm going for only a weekend, March 28th, wish it was longer. But I will be doing mini-photo sessions. If your interested email me at chelsea@chelseabiggsphotography.com

and now it's my turn......

for family pictures. It's a love hate relationship that I have with family pictures. I love taking other families pictures, but hate taking mine. However, I want them so badly. And I love the out come of them too.

So now we have them!

Lydia was so kind enough to take them. And to deal with my awkwardness. (You would think I would know what to do with myself because I tell other people how to stand. It's like I become a dummy when it's my turn. Maybe I have a little stage fright).
We have a little trade thing going on that I love. And she did a such great job capturing what I had envisioned. And I thank her for it. So here's just a few of my favorites. You can see more on her blog as well.







The picture below is my favorite!







So just a little sad story to tell you. While Landon and I were taking some couple shoots, Wyatt thinks that it would be really cool to climb up on the window. The moment we saw him up there we told him to get down. We assumed that he would just climb back down.

No!

He chose to do a belly floop down, landing on his chest and face.

So the picture below is of his slipt lip. It looks like nothing in the picture though. He had one fat lip. However, I love the picture still!
